Earlier this week, a humanitarian worker, was executed. Saifura Husseini Ahmed, a Muslim, was a 25-year old mother of two.

Worse still, the group has threatened to kill the remaining hostages, including Leah Sharibu, in one month unless the Nigerian government responds to its demands.

Using Psalm 27 as your focus please pray daily at 5:30pm (UK and Nigeria time), which is the time of day when Leah was abducted.  Please also use this prayer sheet to help you.

Our call to President Buhari is unchanged – to negotiate the release of Leah, the two remaining humanitarian workers, and the remaining Chibok girls. Please keep asking people to email the Ambassador with this call.
